Representatives of the All Ceylon Jamiyathul Ullama (ACJU) and Mosque federations in Ampara, Batticalao, Trincomalee, Kurunagala, Kandy and Puttlam Districts met Secretary Defence Mr. Gotabaya Rajapaksa today (Aug 23).
Mr. Gotabaya Rajapaksa while briefing the gathering on the current development projects undertaken in the respective districts also informed the representatives to be aware of certain subliminal attempts aimed at disrupting normalcy.
“It is the responsibility of the concerned representatives to keep the public informed on the current developments. Awareness has to be increased in order to defy cynical efforts by a few outlaws to sway the public towards fear and uncertainty”, he said.
“Hence, it is upon the representatives along with the public to assist law enforcement authorities including security forces”, he further said.
Western Provincial Governor Alavi Maulana, Chief of Defence Staff Air Marshal Roshan Goonatilake, Tri-Forces Commanders, Inspector General of Police N. K Illangakoon, Director General MCNS Mr. Laxman Hulugalle and senior officials of the ministry were also present at the occasion.-defence.lk
